Making a Difference

“Be the change you want to see in the world.” Ghandi

Some people see themselves as ordinary people going about
their daily activities without concerns about their surroundings. They are just
happy to make ends meet, put enough food on the table, take care of their
families with a little extra on the side for entertainment and vacation. When
asked about what they do for a living, they will mention their JOB, going to
work for a paycheck and doing what they have to do.

Driven by ambition, others are dedicated to their careers,
and devote every moment to accomplish their goals. When asked about what they
do for a living, they will talk about their CAREER, about their hard work and perseverance
to climb the ladder of success in their field.

A few special people want to make a difference in their
world. They really believe in a cause larger than themselves and they would go
out of their way to make a difference for others. When asked about what they do
for a living, they will enthusiastically elaborate about their calling, their
mission in life, their vocation. Their happiness does not come from money, or
status, but from having a positive impact on the lives of others.

As we are approaching the holidays and the end of this year, how do you analyze your accomplishments?Wealth? Status? Inner satisfaction? Positive impact on the
others?
